Bactrian Camel, Mirko Hanák

some animals I can't imagine with a tummy ache or the sniffles, they're plodders, they hold steady, keep going. Need some of that super power today.

This guy Mirko Hanák seems to have really mastered watercolor and ink, I've painted enough to see how expert this is, water and paper and color have quirky interactions that he uses well. I would love to watch a video of his process.

"The gap between your ambition and your capabilities isn't a limitation—it's an invitation!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Lots of people don't believe they have what it takes.

They get down about it. They get down on themselves. They go into a funk.

And they're going about it all wrong.

Don't think about it as a failure - think about it as an initiative to grow. Don't view your lack of skills as a barrier - view it as a wall to smash through. Don't think about your lack of knowledge on any one particular topic as a weakness - view it as an opportunity to learn!
If you don't have what it takes, do what it takes to get to what it takes!

Think about the mismatch this way - it's an invitation to do better! To learn more. To work harder. To revisit your efforts. To challenge yourself more!

And that's precisely why I've released Embracing Mediocrity and Escaping Mediocrity. They're designed to be read together as your personal invitation to bridge any gap that might exist in the way of your future.

They will give you a powerful, way to close the gap between your skills and your goals; your ambition and your capabilities; your ideas and initiative.

So, if you feel that gap between what you want to achieve and where you are, consider it an invitation. An invitation to pick up both Embracing Mediocrity and Escaping Mediocrity. Consume their wisdom together, and you might truly find something that will help you to identify what is holding you back – and what you can do to keep moving forward!

Remember -> they're at mediocrity.jimcarroll.com 

Bridge the gap!

"𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐛𝐲. 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

I meet a lot of marginal people.

They live marginal lives.

Chasing marginal goals.

With marginal ideas.

And keep achieving, well, marginal things!

What causes this? Part of it is that they just adopt a mindset of mediocrity - that's why I wrote the books!

I remember the situation at one agricultural talk - it was for a long-standing company in the industry. They were faced with unrelenting pressures on every front — input costs climbing faster than their yields, commodity prices swinging wildly from one season to the next, and financial challenges piling up. Drought or deluge could wipe out an entire year’s work in a matter of weeks. Global markets were their future and yet not in their control - their fortunes rose or fell on decisions made in trading pits half a continent away. (Fast forward a few years to today, and the global situation is different altogether!)

My talk focused on the key trends in the sector - key growth opportunities. Things like accelerating automation, faster science, the next generation, and other trends.

But when you are in front of a crowd, you can read the room, and I could certainly read the room on this day. To me, it was a crowd rejecting much of what I was talking about as a path forward because they’d learned to settle for “good enough.”

Why? Because that felt safer than trying something new and failing.

And that’s where the mindset of mediocrity takes hold. When you’ve been burned by weather extremes, when the bank’s watching your loans, when every harvest feels like a cliff edge, it’s tempting to stick with what you know. But what you know isn’t enough. I reminded them that breakthroughs don’t happen by tweaking yesterday’s ideas - they come when you refuse to accept marginal returns on marginal ideas. Because the alternative is a slow grind toward extinction.

Here's the thing about 'getting by.' It's a failure! Know these things:

- the status quo is no longer 'good enough. The landscape is littered with companies and careers that thought "average" was a strategy.

- complacency is the new corporate suicide. If you're not actively pushing the envelope, you're already sealed in it,

- growth isn't a project, it's oxygen! "Get better!" should be your mantra.
action eats inaction for breakfast! Tomorrow demands forward motion, deliberate daily steps, and turning bold vision into tangible reality.

"Don't just get by, Get better!" isn't just a catchy phrase. It's a survival guide for the age of acceleration.

Are you coasting on fumes, or actively managing a way forward?

Jim Carroll’s new books, Embracing Mediocrity and Escaping Mediocrity, provide insight into the path of our marginality.
